May 28, 201511 yr His stuff looked good tonight for Cedar Rapids. Fastball was low to mid-90s. Here's a story on him from C.R. Gazette: http://thegazette.com/subject/sports/blogs/diamonds-and-ice-by-jeff-johnson/kernels-pitcher-bard-continues-comeback-20150527
May 28, 201511 yr I've met a lot of really good people in the Twins organization. I've put Luke Bard at or near the top of that list. All the reports I've heard from people who have seen him pitch, or tried to hit against him, have been glowing. Great stuff.
May 28, 201511 yr Thanks for sharing the article. Talk about a long road back. I saw him pitch back in 2013 ST and was really impressed with his stuff and saw why the Twins took him so high. Few innings later into the year and he was done. Year and 1/2 later and he's back. At Georgia Tech, he was a starter, then moved to closer his final year because of his shoulder. Pretty severe injury to bounce back from but from the report with his velocity, he's got a great start. Kudos to the Twins in showing patience.
